'Once Upon A Time' season 6 spoilers: will we see a change in Rumple for the better?

"Once Upon A Time" season 6 might not be generous to the couples on the show. This does not come as a surprise considering that Regina (Lana Parilla) lost her one true love.

While no death will be involved, there are rumors that Rumple (Robert Carlyle) and Belle's (Emilie de Ravin) relationship will be in jeopardy come the new season. According to Melty, the latter is finally done with his menacing partner.

For every evil Rumple has done, Belle has found herself forgiving his baby daddy. This ultimately turned around last season, when she willingly subjected herself to slumber as Rumple irons out the bad things he has committed.

This arc in the story was done to give way to Emilie de Ravin's pregnancy, but it appears to damage "Once Upon A Time" season 6.

Melty says that Ravin will be back soon, and when she does, she will probably forgive Rumple once again. This time, hopefully, Rumple has changed his ways. Whether or not this will be the case remains unclear for now, but it is certainly a welcome change.

While Rumple and Belle's relationship appears to go downhill, Emma (Jennifer) and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) are expected to take their romance to the next level.

According to previous reports, their fairytale wedding might finally take place in "Once Upon A Time" season 6. After everything the couple has been through, they deserve to finally tie the knot.

In other related news, "Once Upon A Time" has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the sci-fi and fantasy category. Parilla is also nominated for the Choice TV Actress Award.

It couldn't come timelier considering that "Once Upon A Time" season 6 will see the actress play the role of Hero Regina and the Evil Queen, who has materialized into a physical being in the season 5 finale.

"Once Upon A Time" season 6 is expected to premiere this fall.
